Techopia Live’s producer Craig Lord (who is definitely not also writing this post) took the hotseat this week to talk about the biggest Ottawa tech stories from the first half of 2017, and what to keep an eye on in the year ahead.

Another company to watch is DragonWave. While the Kanata firm saw some good news earlier this month in the form of contract to deliver in-flight Wi-Fi, the company has been beset with financial troubles and the threat of delisting from the NASDAQ exchange. DragonWave has most recently been given an extension to meet the shareholders’ equity requirements by October, but whether the company can turn itself around is one of the biggest Ottawa tech stories to follow in 2017.

To hear Techopia’s take on Ottawa’s gaming sector, recent investment activity in the city and the developments we’re excited to follow, watch the video above.
